Todd from Fox Head Inc. dropped by the factory this morning in a Fox shop truck to pick up a Malibu Boats Wakesetter VLX. Fox will be using this new VLX over the weekend to reward the Fox MX Team with a mini vacation filled with amazing wakeboarding and wakesurfing. Fox MX riders attending will include Ricky Carmichael, Ivan Tedesco, Ryan Dungey and more. Have fun guys!
